the reason for tears

the reason for tears
is because people today
do not say what they mean
and do not mean what they say;
and I am not created
to navigate this way

D vs. O


You are my half-moon,

            and I am
                            
                        your fool.

I seek strength

take
take
take me all apart.
i don't
know how
to live.
where do I even start?

when my heart
is there
and my head
everywhere
and my feet
and my hands
are reaching for somewhere
other than here

Not My Way

You need not fear
I will force anything
That is not my way
Not my way

And if for a moment
you wondered
what she is capable of;
Ah, that is only 
because there is always
intensity in my love.

But it rises
like fireworks,
a volcano to the air,
A rocket to the sky,
a bright red flare,
Then it sizzles down
until only I can hear;
And there is no danger
that it will cause any damage there.

I am harmless, you see
I do not move too free,
the hurricane is within
and it is rare for it to let you in.
If you have known it once
To have demanded and such
It was because it trusted then,
and it is closed tight again.

So you need not worry
I do not demand
nor chase
nor force
nor expect;
I only try to find a place
for the love in my hands
wait for my course
and I let, I let, I let

this is my way
even if I wish I was a little more brave.
I close my eyes, I sigh, and I let.
